Mobile Tech Podcast with tnkgrl Myriam Joire

Myriam Joire -- known online as tnkgrl -- has been covering mobile technology since before smartphones were smart. A former Engadget Senior Mobile Editor and co-host on the TWiT network, she brings a rare depth of industry knowledge to every weekly episode. With 471 episodes since 2017 and still going strong (the latest dropped March 2026 covering MWC and new battery tech), this is one of the most consistent gear podcasts around. The show focuses squarely on smartphones, personal gadgets, and increasingly car tech. Myriam gets granular in a way that most tech podcasts avoid -- she talks about specific chipset decisions, display panel choices, and why a particular antenna design matters for real-world reception. Her MWC coverage alone is worth following for, since she actually handles the devices and reports from the show floor rather than summarizing press releases. At around 75 minutes per episode, the format is conversational but information-dense. Myriam has strong opinions backed by years of hands-on testing, and she is not shy about pointing out when a manufacturer is cutting corners. The 4.6-star rating across 34 reviews reflects a loyal audience that values substance over hype. If you want someone who genuinely understands the engineering behind your phone and can explain it without talking down to you, this is your podcast.
